My husband and I had dinner at Da Livio a few nights ago. We had actually planned on going to Cafe Roma, just down the street, but it was closed for the off-season so we wandered into Da Livio. It has a nice decor and atmosphere, not stuffy, and we were not the only ones in t-shirts and shorts (although... more

Excellent! Better than my husband or I expected a italian restaurant to be on St. John. Atmosphere was very nice, music was enjoyable, food was absolutely delicious. I had the Chicken Piccata (the way they say sounds much better!) and my husband had the Veal Saltimbocca. Fantastic dishes. Very courteous and attentive waiter. Look forward to going back before the... more

Living on St Thomas we try to get to a St. John restaurant a few times a month. Had drinks and dessert at Da Livio last year and really wanted to have this restaurant be wonderful. Went last weekend and was thoroughly disappointed and may not give it another chance. First, we were there early with only one other party... more

We had a large party (about 8-10 people) visiting the restaurant with a reservation. We came expecting a wonderful, small family experience. The atmosphere was okay, something in line with what we were expecting of a small, family owned Italian restaurant on a small island. But after that, everything went incredibly wrong. The food was terrible, to be completely honest.... more

My wife and I honeymooned in St. John at Caneel Bay. After a few relatively disappointing meals at the hotel went into Cruz Bay to try to find something better. Our last two dinners on the island were at Da Livio - had we found it earlier in our stay we would have eaten there every night on the island.... more

My husband and I have been traveling to St. John since 2003 and were ecstatic to find a new favorite restaurant last summer--Da Livio. My husband is from northern NJ and I from New England, so we know good Italian food. Da Livio is as authentic as it gets. We went three nights in a row on our trip; we... more

This is the place. We were stunned. We are from Washington, DC and have never eaten better Italian. Homemade pasta that is to die for. Wonderful atmosphere. Very nice owner from Italy. more

Being New Yorkers with financial interests in few high-end Italian restaurants there we (5) were surprised to find this quiet un-assuming gem among so many hack restuarants with their island versions of everything - and most of it lousy. 44 years of visiting this island and fiunally a good place to dine. No mango chutney here. Da Livio just serves... more

We've been to St. John many times and bypassed DaLivio because the location offered no atmosphere. But in search of something new, we went and would never return. The pasta with walnut sauce was pasty, floury, and the ravioli with leeks was bland. Our tiramisu dessert was so frozen we could not stab it with a fork and as it... more
